I am often sarcastic. It comes across as me being uncomfortable. I try a different reaction than sarcasm and then just choose silence because I don't know what to say.
I was at a gathering tonight where this happened. I had a great conversation with a couple, and then I moved on, and at one point I was chatting w/ the owner of the house and her daughter and then my housemate/coworker joined and I thought they would be annoyed and then they just ask a genuine nice question like, "What kind of books do you like to read?" and I would never have asked that.
It made me feel like a jerk that I thought they should be annoyed by him. But I've had to work and live w/ him for the past week, so that makes a difference.
